Winnie Nwagi On Why Ugandan Artistes Haven’t Performed At O2 Arena

Swangz Avenue Singer Winnie Nwagi has given reasons why Ugandan artists haven’t reached a point of performing at the O2 arena in London. Only big artistes perform at that venue and it is very hard for fans to fill it unless an artiste is extremely popular.

One of the African artists that have filled such a venue is Wizkid from Nigeria. His show sold out very fast and some fans didn’t get an opportunity to secure a ticket. Ugandans have been questioning their artistes wondering why they can’t also make it to O2 Arena.

According to Winnie Nwagi, Ugandan music hasn’t crossed borders like Nigerian music. She said Ugandans alone are jealous of each other. They don’t like seeing one of them prosper.

Nwagi said if Ugandans were supportive, maybe the music would be heard outside the country. Artists would then organize concerts at 02 Arena as there is so much support.

“Ugandan music is not consumed worldwide, that’s why we have not yet reached a point of performing at 02. Even Ugandans outside Uganda don’t support the local music and that is the reason most people don’t know about it,” she said.

It should be noted that most artists here in Uganda don’t even fill up the local stadiums when they decide to have a concert.
